    We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around this lovely neighborhood. There are artists and small souvenir sellers in the street. This busy restaurant is huge and had tons of seating. We were hoping to be seated but were told that they were full. There were tons of empty tables but they must all have been reserved. Luckily for us the hostess was nice enough to squeeze us in at the bar. We ordered the Caesar salad, Greek salad, and the lobster roll with fries. The salads were fresh and perfect after a day of eating pastas. The dressings for the salad were like thick yogurts. The Caesar salad was different than what we are used but in a good way. It was delicious! The lobster roll was ok. It was on the greasy side and the roll was falling apart. Lobster portions were ok. They did charge us for the bread and olives that we thought were complimentary. I think €10! We hardly had any.

    Cocktail menu

    Great location near the Trevi fountain! Food was excellent and portions were large, we couldn't finish the pasta. The selection meats and cheeses were so fresh and delicious. The cocktail drink menu has some unique, entertaining named options - if you like scotch, try the Pennicilin. Because it's so close to the Trevi fountain, be sure to make a reservation for the peak dinner rush. We lucked out with a walk up seating but it was on the early side. We saw them turn people away. We sat outside which can be disconcerting since there is constant pedestrian traffic. The inside looked very 1930s New York/Paris chic. Highly recommend.

    The bar was a fun experience! However, the food was absolutely lackluster. Saltiest carbonara I've had in my life.

    Burger with fries

    Came in to relax with wine. Ended up starting with champagne since the server brought me the wrong thing. I also ordered a burger with fries to go with my wine. Everything was good. Restaurant is large and has that upscale look to it. Located in a very busy tourist spot, near the Trevi fountain.

    Located by the Trevi fountain. I was impressed with their accessibility for wheelchairs since I went down to the bathroom and they had a machine for it. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was decent for the price.

    Stepped into this restaurant on a whim & OH MY GOSH, we were glad we did! We dined outside & it was dreamy. Our waitress was charming & thoughtful & made great wine suggestions. We were thrilled to have stumbled upon this little gem!

    Stopped by for dinner after touring the city and the hostess was absolutely amazing. It was early around 4 and not allot of people but we had a long wait for a menu and drinks. The hostess was very gracious with hosting me some fans from Hendricks gin because of our long wait and the I have to say it made up for the wait. The oysters were delicious from France and the pasta was delicious. Definitely coming back when in Rome

    Beside the amazing food, ask for Samuel so he'll make sure you'll be well served, especially the Tiramisù. Cheers and Salute!!!

    Carbonara
    Sarah S.

    The pastas were delicious! This place was a great introduction to Roma. After seeing the Trevi fountain, we chose this spot to have dinner and we're seated at the last remaining outside table in one of the less appealing outside areas of the l restaurant. Make sure to keep you bags toward the restaurant side and not by the street side so no passing people can pick pocket or steak what you have. The hostess made sure to remind us as we were being seated. DO get the carbonara. I'm no expert but I can tell you it tasted delicious, and the way the pig was cooked in thick little crunchy salt & fat bites was perfection. All three of us LOVED our pasta dishes and it will make our first meal in Rome a memorable one.

    The Rigatoni "Cavalieri" alla Carbonara.
    Horace N.

    The ambiance felt more French than Italian, but it was lovely. Dark wood. Deep reds. Low light. It made me want to eat red meat and ravage an Italian woman. We adjusted our American expectations for European style service. They don't fuss and fawn over you in Europe. You gesture and they'll come, otherwise they leave you be. To those complaining, don't be such an entitled American cliche. You're in their culture. Adapt or whine. As for the food, let's just say that we did a few days in Rome, then went to Amalfi, and then one night back in Rome, and this was both our very first and very last dinner during our trip. After our first time, nothing really compared and we knew we had to go back before our flight home. Everything was excellent. The Tonnarelli Fatti in Casa Cacio e Pepe was so good. The Spaghetti "Cavalieri" al Tre Pomodori e Burrata was amazing. The Rigatoni "Cavalieri" alla Carbonara was sensational. Seneffingsational. All of the pasta was perfectly al dente. Also, the bread basket was fresh and offered a selection, including a nice focaccia. We devoured 3 whole baskets, because carbs ftw! I had a few of the drinks, but on their Summer Drinks menu there was one called the Fresh & Clean, and it was so refreshing after being in 100ºF heat all day. I had several of those. Several. SEVERAL. I don't have a problem. In all, I'd give this place an A+ (with extra credit because they actually fried up the pork cheek in the carbonara a bit, giving it a delightfully crisp-but-chewy bacon-y texture). Also, the prices were literally half of what they are here in NYC, where overcooked pasta will set you back like 28 bucks a plate. Granted the portions were also European and thus half the size of here in the U.S.f, which we loved (because I'd rather order and pay for less food), but of course other Americans on here complained because they're used to obesity portions. Again, stop being cliches. If you're in Rome, go here. Don't listen to any other review, you listen to me. It's right around the corner from Trevi Fountain, so you can kill two birds with one stone. And invite me. I needs ta gooo!

    BURRATA WITH SEMI DRY CHERRY TOMATOES "DE CARLO" AND BASIL
    Ben B.

    We stopped here during our Mediterranean cruise's Rome port. It's close enough to Trevi without being too touristy. They were kind enough to seat all 9 of us, granted at separate tables, but adjacent. I got super predictable and had the carbonara and a couple of their spritzes and my wife had the cacio y Pepe and a glass of red. All fantastic, but the tomatoes in the "BURRATA WITH SEMI DRY CHERRY TOMATOES 'DE CARLO' AND BASIL" were the highlight. One of the best things I ever eaten on any European vacation. See pic, unless you're hungry.

    Amazing Tarbouriech oysters at Baccano's!!  Best EVER!  Want a special treat talk to Marco for the perfect  wine pairing!!!

    Although close to the Trevi fountain, this had the feel of a more local (as opposed to touristy) place.

    Went here for the music, was completely blown away by everything this place had to offer…read more For starts the sushi was easily some of the best sushi I have ever had, it was simple but every ingredient was fresh and thought through. The edamame we had was soft and boiled/spiced to perfection. Originally we were just going to get a roll and a bowl but after trying the food we immediately got another roll. The staff was a whole new level of mind blowing. To start the waiter made us feel exactly where we belonged (even though we were a little underdressed for a classier restaurant). You could've just sat there and watched the bar tender all night, she looked like she was a professional I wouldn't want anyone else making me drinks. The atmosphere of the whole bar embodied a classic American jazz bar, even the other people and tables we were by were friendly and really added to the whole experience. Was very well worth the price and couldn't recommend any other restaurant.

    A jazz club for American tourists…read more Okay, there was one Australian lady and a few Chinese. Everyone else was American. Prices are sky-high because this is a soak the tourist situation. Alexanderplatz which is the premiere jazz club in Rome charges $18 euros for a month membership - no cover after that - and $12 per drink. So once you have paid your monthly cover charge, you can hear all the jazz you want for free - or if need be for $12 euros a drink At Alexanderplatz, the performances are legendary with some of the most innovative and technically amazing musicians in Rome. We dropped over $150 euros at Gregory's. We got a perfectly reasonable yeoman guitarist. But nothing like the artistic lions that routinely perform over at Alexanderplatz. Now to be fair, we had dinner at Gregory's and we never eat at Alexanderplatz. The standard "sushi dinner" was perfectly reasonable yeoman sushi. There was so little of it that we both had to order a la carte dishes afterwards. The extra extras seriously expanded the final tab. * * * One argument in Gregory's favor: their bar is extraordinary. The bar at Alexanderplatz is mediocre. Gregory's charges top dollar for its bar offerings, but what they mix and what is in their bottles is worth every single euro they ask for. I would be perfectly happy to just go to the bar, and order a few premium beverages. I would hear my wallet cry. But I would know that I was drinking supremely well in return for my investment. Fortunately, the bar is downstairs from the club. I would not have to put up with the shenanigans in the club. * * * The problem with the club is the crowd. At most, one third of the customers are actually there to listen to jazz. The room is filled with tourists taking selfies. There are also hot-daters playing snuggle-buns. Many of them will leave mid-set so they can go back to the hotel. Gregory's is less about the music and more about selling happy memories of Rome. * * * Alexanderplatz gets a mostly Italian crowd. You are looking as musicians, music critics, academics, and all purpose artsy types - as well as normal Italian human beings who just want to hear fine music. The music is taken very very seriously. Yeah, there are usually two or three tables with good time Charlies who are doing the phone recording, party hearty thing. But this is 8% of the audience at Alexanderplatz as opposed to 70% of the audience at Gregory's. To be fair to the crowd at Gregory's, the music at Alexanderplatz is simply better. The jazz at Alexanderplatz is capable of transfixing even philistines with tin ears. Gregory's jazz doesn't put that much on the table. But the crowd at Alexanderplatz sets me up for listening to mystic, complex music with the highest level of attention and aesthetic receptiveness. The crowd at Gregory's just gets me irritated. * * * If you are in Rome with a hot date, go to Gregory's. Be prepared to shell out the bucks. * * * If you are in Rome with someone who can truly appreciate once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences, take them to Alexanderplatz. After you talk about the music for half an hour after the concert, You can still go back to the hotel. Just figure that the hotel will be the second best part of the night.
